I'm wondering how to use the Role Manager feature with the SimpleMembership system included in ASP.NET MVC 4, specifically how to build a controller that manages all data associated with Roles, and using the webpage_Roles table that SimpleMembership creates when a project is created with a Internet Template. Is there a way to automate this within the Login/Register actions in the AccountController?

Might be a good read before deciding if you want to go down that road brockallen.com/2012/09/02/… Also things like roles & membership can easily be managed with things like IIdentity & GenericPrincipal

Just remember; to use this part of webconfig in your app webconfig; you should add roleManager enabled like this; <roleManager defaultProvider="SimpleRoleProvider" enabled="true">
